Setting up Android Devices

You will see questions about Microsoft Intune, configuration profiles, and compliance policies. You won’t see any questions about how to set up a device in Intune but I thought it was important for you to see so I’ve created a lesson. If you already set up Intune to work with Android devices or are only concerned about passing the MS-500 feel free to skip this lesson.

Before you can add Android devices to Microsoft Intune you’ll need to connect your Intune tenant to Google.

1. Go to Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center > Devices > Enroll devices > Android enrollment > Managed Google Play. Click I agree > Launch Google to connect now.

2. Follow the prompts to sign in and set up your Android to Work account. Once you’re complete you’ll see a notification saying “Managed Google Play successfully configured with tenant” and you’ll notice the Enrollment profiles are unlocked.

So now we’re ready to finally set up our first Android device. Or are we? Before we can set up our first Android device, we need to discuss one last thing, how do you want to configure the device?

In short, Android has a couple of options. First, the device can be personally owned or corporate-owned. In short, did the user bring their own device or did the company buy the device and give it to the user? If the device is personally owned, then the device will automatically receive a work profile. In short, the user can continue to use their personal apps and device like they normally would, and the work apps go in a separate container on the phone. The device will even have a managed Google Play store app so users can download apps to the workspace. Only apps that you have allowed will show up in the managed Google Play app store.
